"Awkward Family Photos" at West Baton Rouge Museum

The West Baton Rouge hosts national traveling exhibit Awkward Family Photos, a show that began in 2009 when Mike Bender noticed one of his own family photos framed and displayed at his parents' home. Eventually, he and a writing partner, Doug Chernack, created a website to collect similar photos from the public—resulting in a world-wide phenomenon capturing the imperfect, staged moments that create family photographic experiences. From "behind the awkwardness" stories to a "selfie station," visitors will be able to enjoy a good laugh while replicating the humor of these seemingly universal experiences. westbatonrougemuseum.org.
